Where did we go?When was the moment that we broke in two?I think I knowIn fact I am sure I can blame it on youI remember the first big surpriseThe day you came home with your infrared eyesI looked inside them, but all I could seeWere tiny reflections of me

But it's not me, it's youWhat you're turning intoYou're some kind of somethingThat I never knewYou used to be okayAnd I liked you that wayBut I don't think that I like you betterNo I don't think that I like you better

Started out smallSome gills and some wings and a few extra thumbsNow you're thirteen feel tallEven when you're asleep your machinery humsAnd I'm tired of the evenings I spendMaking small talk with your new robot friendsAnd their stupid insistence on scanning my irisWhen they know damn well who I am

And you look like a victim of a surgical crimeA little Darth Vader, little Optimus PrimeYou used to be okayAnd I liked you that wayBut I don't think that I like you betterNo I don't think that I like you better

So that's how it goesSnap your mandibles once to say you understandNow hold me closeWait, now that's too close, you're crushing my handI can tell by that shrieking alarmThat your weapon systems are active and onDo me a favor, power them down, just so we don't have a scene

And I wish it was different but it's just not the sameAt least we've got someone we know we can blameYou used to be okayAnd I liked you that wayBut I don't think that I like you betterNo I don't think that I like you better
